30 Rock Mentions The Hunger Games

On the recent new episode of 30 Rock (one of the best shows in existence if I do say so myself) our very own Liz Lemon mentions her love for The Hunger Games. 

She says, “Let me imagine what Peeta Mellark looks like and how his arms smell of bread!” And I have to agree with her. (Peeta Mellark is my favorite character, and I do imagine how he smells of warm delicious bread… sigh) Continue reading →

Courtesy of iVillage, five new character posters for the characters of the movie have been revealed.  Continue reading →

The Young Carrie Bradshaw Is…

It was recently announced that The CW has green-lit the pilot episode for a series based on the book, The Carrie Diaries, written by Candace Bushnell. The book and series is a prequel to the hit show (that I love) “Sex and the City”. It follows the four best friends as they traverse the city and learn about life and love (so yes its just like the original show but for teens). However, who is going to play the four women in their teen years? And many people want to know who is going to play the titular Carrie? Continue reading →

Could World War Z End The Zombie Genre?

 

I love zombies. I love zombie movies, I love zombie books. It is a genre that I really dig. Unfortunately, not everyone feels the same. With the adaptation of Max Brooks’ brilliantly written World War Z, many feel that after this film comes out there isn’t much left to do in the genre.
